eons ago, i dropped out of the neuroscience grad program at the university of british columbia to work on baby gaga with my partner nick. back then, we were reviewing strollers and getting the hang of designing user-friendly web interfaces. as you can see, we've come a long way since then!

i'm a mother of max & pregnant with #2 at the age of 34 - due sept 28th. it's surprising but not unwelcome.

i've spent months researching & writing about pregnancy for our pregnancy calendar. it also helps that i studied the anatomy and physiology of pregnancy in some depth during college (i have a B.A. in bio-psychology). i've also spent two years doing independent research on human sexuality (of which pregnancy is quite an important part obviously).

what was only briefly and summarily glossed over in my college education was birth and the fourth trimester or the most harrowing part of new motherhood, infancy and breastfeeding, has since become a political passion of mine.

labor and birth are one of the final frontiers for women to fight for the right to bodily autonomy, respect and more than medical pseudoscience which ignores the wisdom of our own bodies and the long-term impact of the choices we make during pregnancy and infancy on our children's health and well-being - even into adulthood.

i'm also very interested in gender politics and trying to find realistic ways to create a more supportive environment for all parents (from teenagers to single mothers of six kids) to be able to educate themselves, as well as work, and raise their children to be happy, responsible, and healthy members of our planet.

Hey booooo. How's that baby baking? My friend has been trying to login for weeks now and it's not recognizing her password or letting her set up a new one. She's messaged the HELP area a few times with no response! Please help!
